Update.
Mandate Pictures announced today that Spike Lee (Inside Man) will direct OLDBOY, a remake of the highly-acclaimed South Korean film. Mark Protosevich has adapted the screenplay and will co-produce. Roy Lee and Doug Davison (The Departed, The Grudge) will produce. The film is a Vertigo Entertainment/40 Acres & A Mule Production. Mandate President Nathan Kahane will executive produce.
“It’s a great honor to put this special project into the hands of such a gifted writer and iconic director,” said Kahane.

oh great. So now Oldboy is going to have some self-righteous message about how racism is still prevalent and show caricatures of 1990's New Yorkers.
FUCK YOU.
- yep it will be all about race, just like The Inside Man was. DERP********

As much as I disagree with remakes (hypocritical as I have worked on a few!) they are basing it off the manga not the film.
I havent bothered rewatching the SK film version after reading the manga as I didnt like what they changed -- Then again how often do we hear that!

- That's shit. His letter at the end about his kids and family is a bit pathetic though********
- If Spike Lee had real money he'd hire a real poster designer. Not this digital fake stuff.hereswhatidid
- Oh it's a qbner. No offence but thought the last bit was a bit 'poor me'. Best of luck.********

- i never agreed to work for freeJG_LB
- I know... clearly they've taken advantage of you, and I hope you get reparations. But you said yourself 'I saw all the warning signs'... I'm just saying we should all stop trusting agencies at face value. Best of luck, now that it's blown up I'm sure you'll get your due somehowJulesvm
- signs' . Best of luck and now that it's blown up I'm sure you'll get your due.Julesvm
- not working for free and working for 'cheap' are kind of one and the same, JG_LB...
you weren't really in it...PonyBoy - ... for the $$ up-front were you? (your letter seemed like you saw opportunity but got smoked in the process)PonyBoy
